Shortly after we married, my husband asked if I would bake up a pan of brownies for him to take to work. I said, "Sure—I have the best recipe." He liked to cook, too, and said hehad the best recipe. To settle the matter, we each baked a batch and let his co-workers decide. My recipe won!

Ingredients

2/3 cup butter, melted and cooled
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups sugar
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
GLAZE:
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup 2% milk
1-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the butter, eggs and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients; add to butter mixture. Stir in water and chocolate chips until blended.
Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until brownies pull away from the sides of the pan. Cool on a wire rack.
For glaze, in a microwave, melt the chips and butter with milk; stir until smooth. Whisk in the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla until smooth. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until mixture reaches a spreading consistency; frost brownies.

My kids and their friends loved these! I loved the ease of the recipe - and admit to eating several myself. Very tasty.

These are the best brownies I've ever made. I used a dark metal baking pan so I decreased the temp by 25 degrees. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly as written and the brownies were absolutely wonderful. I can't think of a reason to seek another brownie recipe!

These are very good and surprisingly not too rich. I'd have added some chopped pecans or walnuts to the brownie batter, but my daughter does not care for nuts in baked goods. Go ahead and use all of the second half of the bag of chocolate chips in the frosting.I like to try different brownie recipes, but this is one I'm sure I'll make again.
